Didn't really stop people from lighting up that first number, did it? If, about fifteen years ago, the government had recognized that marijuana was _more_ popular than alcohol among a significant fraction of the society, and the response had been to legalize the weed, the government would now have the credibility to say "Freebasing can kill you" and be believed. What we have is a credibility problem, not a drug problem. > -Steve "Piss bottles for God and Country" Dunn STella "Hell, no, I won't flow" Calvert Guest Account: {cybvax0!decvax}!frog!sc HASA Affiliation: S Division
